A Healing Journey to the Zen Retreat of Hongzhushan in Mount Emei

🌄Hey guys, today I'm taking you to a sanctuary at the foot of Mount Emei – the Hongzhushan Zen Retreat, to embark on an immersive Zen experience. Here, you can not only feel the tranquility of nature but also find inner peace and strength through traditional Zen practices. 🏠【Experience Process】 Check In: After arriving at the Hongzhushan Hotel, go to Building 7 to check in. The reception staff will warmly welcome you, quickly complete the procedures, and thoughtfully introduce the hotel facilities and activities. Singing Bowl Healing: I highly recommend booking a singing bowl healing session in advance. Lie on a comfortable mat and listen to the ethereal sounds of the singing bowls. Your whole body will be relaxed, as if all the stress is being released bit by bit. Sutra Copying Experience: Get a copy of the scriptures from the front desk, find a quiet place, put on simple clothes, wash your hands, light incense, and copy the scriptures stroke by stroke, feeling the inner peace. Praying at Hongzhu Peak: Get a prayer card from the front desk and walk along the path opposite Building 2. You'll soon reach Hongzhu Peak, where you can pray for family and friends. It's super meaningful. Forest Hot Springs: When you're tired, go and enjoy the forest hot springs. There are more than ten hot spring pools indoors and outdoors, with suitable water temperatures. Soaking in the hot springs while admiring the beautiful mountain scenery is incredibly relaxing. 💖【Experience】 Stepping into the Zen retreat is like entering a secluded paradise. Surrounded by forests, the air is fresh, and every breath is filled with negative oxygen ions, making you feel refreshed. During the singing bowl healing, I felt for the first time that sound has healing power. The 45-minute experience was like a deep spa treatment for the soul. While copying the scriptures, the only sound was the rustling of the pen tip across the paper. Distractions gradually dissipated, and my mind became incredibly calm. Soaking in the hot springs, the steaming water enveloped my body, and looking at the green mountains and trees in the distance, all the fatigue of the day vanished. 🎒【What to Bring】 Comfortable clothes and sports shoes: For easy walking and participating in activities in the forest. Swimsuit and swimming cap: Essential for enjoying the hot springs. Sunscreen: The sun can be strong on sunny days, so remember to protect yourself. Camera: There are so many beautiful scenes, of course, you have to record them! 📌【Important Notes】 Singing bowl healing and some activities require advance booking, so remember to plan your time in advance. Don't soak in the hot springs for too long to avoid physical discomfort. There are many mosquitoes in the forest, so bring mosquito repellent. Respect the atmosphere and rules of Zen activities, and maintain quiet and focus. The Hongzhushan Zen Retreat in Mount Emei is truly a great place to relax, rejuvenate, and find yourself. Whether you want a short escape from the hustle and bustle of the city or seek inner peace, this place is perfect. Guys, make your plans now!💕
